This would be a good one for a headline writing contest.... <g> dailynews.yahoo.com Monday May 14 1:48 PM ET Florida Gov. Bush Denies Rumors of Affair TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush denied rumors of a sexual affair with a woman he appointed to lead a state agency and said on Monday he had never been unfaithful to his wife of 27 years. ``As you know, there have been persistent rumors about my fidelity to my wife,'' Bush told reporters at a bill-signing ceremony in the state capital. ``I've been faithful to her. There is nothing to these rumors. It is an outright lie.'' It was the first time Bush, younger brother of President Bush (news - web sites), publicly commented on the rumors of an affair with Cynthia Henderson, who he appointed last September as secretary of the state Department of Management Services. The rumors had circulated in Tallahassee and on Internet Web pages for weeks and several newspapers recently have written about the allegations. Bush, 48, called the rumors ``hurtful'' and said the questions about his fidelity to his wife Columba were ``sick.'' His office previously denied rumors that Columba Bush had moved out of the governor's mansion, the Orlando Sentinel said. Bush has been married to his wife for 27 years and the couple have three children. The Republican governor was inaugurated to his first term in January 1999 and has said he will announce next month whether he will seek re-election in 2002. Henderson, 40, was a partner in a Tampa law firm specializing in land use issues until Bush appointed her to head the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in 1999. He appointed her last September to her current job as head of the agency that oversees building and maintenance of state facilities, inter-agency telecommunications services and insurance and retirement programs for state workers. Henderson was not immediately available for comment but several newspapers said she had previously denied the rumor of an affair.
